Both Mobie and Ergo are older, and they seemed especially tired after getting drenched in the rain.
I came back downstairs.
The Grand Duke was standing where I had been sitting earlier. As I approached, he stood up.
“Are you okay with the smell of tobacco and alcohol?”
“Yes, I can handle that.”
The Grand Duke showed a faint smile.
“The innkeeper just went upstairs to see that couple.”
“Yes.”
Then he lowered his voice.
“Your Highness.”
“?”
“You got drenched in the rain. Please go up and rest.”
The Grand Duke looked uncomfortable.
“I tried to rest, but there’s barely space to stand.”
The Grand Duke laughed.
Indeed.
The situation was so absurd that I laughed along.
But the innkeeper didn’t return for quite some time.
The Grand Duke put on his cloak to go look for her, leaving before I could stop him.
Through the briefly opened door, I saw the rain pouring down heavily.
‘Even a hardened mercenary couldn’t sleep outside in this weather.’
I waited for the Grand Duke to return, but even after ten minutes, he didn’t.
Then it happened.
A drunken man in his early thirties staggered towards me.
“Are you alone?”
He slurred his words, speaking rudely to me. I didn’t respond.
The man then leaned in close to my face.
“Wow, you’re really pretty. A new servant? Or are you waiting for a man to book a room? Is the mask intentional? Something secretive going on!”
“Get lost.”
“Your attitude is charming too. Hehe. How about it? I have a shop down in the village. Want to work there?”
He reached out as if to touch my face. I deftly avoided his hand.
Then he tried to grab my hair.
‘I can’t cause a scene.’
I dodged again, pondering where to break him if he persisted.
Suddenly, the man shouted.
“Act all high and mighty, will you, woman!”
He roughly grabbed my shoulder.
“Let’s spend a warm night together in this rain!”
At that moment.
Aaaaagh!
The man suddenly screamed.
The Grand Duke had appeared and was gripping the man’s outstretched hand, twisting it.
The man was yelling, his arm raised by the Grand Duke.
‘Your Highness!’
A terrifying killing intent was emanating from the Grand Duke.
“Say it again. What did you dare say?”
“Aaaaagh!”
“Speak. Or I’ll rip that mouth apart.”
“Please… spare me! Aaaaagh!”
The Grand Duke twisted the man’s wrist, threatening to break his fingers too.
The man screamed in agony. Everyone in the hall turned to look at us.
I urged the Grand Duke to stop.
“Please, that’s enough.”
“Ah, sorry, sorry! If there was a man with you, you should have said so!!! You wretch!”
Sparks seemed to fly in the Grand Duke’s blue eyes.
‘He might kill him.’
I quickly grabbed the Grand Duke’s hand.
“He’s drunk. Please, don’t do this.”
The Grand Duke exhaled harshly.
After a moment, he set the man down as if throwing him.
The man, having hit his head against the wall, sprinted out into the rain, fearing being caught again.
“See? Even drunk, he had the sense to run. Those who do bad things using alcohol as an excuse are just bad people.”
“Calm down, please. You’re too agitated.”
“…”
“Still, I’m glad you came. If not, I might have had to deal with him myself.”
Finally, the Grand Duke’s murderous aura began to subside.
I looked at him. His hair was wet from the rain.
“Is it raining heavily?”
Just then, the innkeeper entered, drenched from the rain.
“Oh dear, what to do? That newlywed couple, now they can’t leave because their carriage isn’t coming. They only just informed me…”
The innkeeper seemed apologetic, glancing at the Grand Duke and me.
It was awkward.
I looked around.
‘Should we just sleep in the hall?’
The Grand Duke asked, “Do all those in the hall have rooms?”
“Yes. They’re just lingering because they’re drinking. As you can see, even my room isn’t available today. I can’t make the female guest sleep at the desk…”
The innkeeper was also at a loss, then suddenly had an idea.
“If it’s alright with you, there’s an unused shed I cleaned yesterday. How about that? I’ll give you plenty of blankets. There’s dry hay, it’s not bad. But I won’t charge for it.”
The Grand Duke replied, “Alright. Esdel, you use the small room upstairs, and we’ll take the shed.”
“But…”
How could I let His Highness stay in a shed?
I tried to dissuade him, but he decisively went upstairs to send down Yora and the others.
I followed him.
But…
The three men in the small room were sprawled out, seemingly knocked out from exhaustion. It seemed too cruel to wake them up.
“I’ve only recently recovered, Your Highness. I’ll be fine in the hallway.”
“You’re the same.”
“So, you’re not a couple, then what’s your relationship? Not blood-related, so are you connected by kinship?”
The innkeeper cheerfully spread a wide blanket on the hay. Then she said to me,
“It’s quite spacious, so feel free to rest comfortably. How is it? Spacious, right?”
The shed was indeed more spacious than the room Mobie and the others entered.
Although slightly damp from the rain, it had a good amount of dry hay.
There was only one window high up.
Raindrops continuously fell on the tin roof.
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
